Abstract

With the rapid development of education, teachers are the very basis of modern education and education reform and they play an important role in promoting the quality of education. The paper aims to investigate the current situation of occupational burnout among university foreign language teachers and analyse the relationship between occupational burnout and self-efficacy. The subjects in this study are 162 university foreign language teachers from four universities in Dongguan city. The questionnaires are issued to the 162 teachers and data collected is analysed by SPSS. The quantitative method is employed to get numerical values, examine variables identified and test hypotheses. Meantime, the descriptive method is used to describe the overall dimension of the questionnaire and distribution of basic demographic variables and the correlational method is to investigate whether there is a correlation between self-efficacy and occupational burnout. The results have shown that on the whole, the self-efficacy level of the subjects is high and the degree of occupational burnout is not high. Specifically, there is a significant negative correlation between self-efficacy and occupational burnout and there is a significant negative correlation between self-efficacy and the three dimensions of occupational burnout (depersonalization, emotional exhaustion and reduced personal accomplishment). Furthermore, self-efficacy has a significant negative predictive effect on occupational burnout of university foreign language teachers.
